A Wondrous Recovery
By Roalee

Murmuring and muttering. Softly spoken words. Strange utterings. I tried to ignore them but somehow they called to me. They were soothing sounds at first but after a while I started to get a headache. I groaned and slitted my eyes open. All I saw was a pair of pure blue orbs.

"She's waking up!" Blue exclaimed.

"Calm yourself, young tomcat, or I will have to ask you to leave," responded a motherly voice I hadn't heard before.

I opened my eyes wider and smiled ruefully. Sitting up and shaking my head, I croaked, "What happened?"

I instantly lay back down and groaned softly. Blue hovered over me in concern and then stood back.

"I'm going to hurt the tom that did this to you," he growled.

"Wha... what?" I managed to whisper as my head cleared. "Who are you going to hurt?"

"That runty little black cat over there," Blue pointed to a small tom talking to Tantomile and Coricopat.

I turned my head slowly so as not to give myself another headache and gazed at the trio. Abruptly, the three stopped whatever conversation they were engrossed in. Just as slowly as I had, they all turned their heads to look at me. As one, they walked over from across the room.

"Don't try anything Mr. Mistoffelees," Blue growled threateningly.

We all ignored the large tomcat. The motherly female laid a paw on his shoulder and shook her head. I continued to gaze at the three mysterious cats. Suddenly, my headache returned in force and I closed my eyes tightly. Just as suddenly, the pain vanished and I popped my eyes open.

"That was strange," I muttered shakily.

Tantomile lay a paw on my forehead and once again I felt a surge of power flow through me. It strengthened me and I relaxed.

"You'll have to learn how to raise your mental shields," she said quietly.

"But I've always prided myself on being totally open-minded," I replied with a weak grin.

"An admirable characteristic, to be sure. But not in this instance," Coricopat said with a chuckle.

I looked at Tantomile's twin with a smile and then gazed at the young tom beside him. My smile dropped away.

"So, you're responsible for what happened to me," I said coolly.

"Um... yes," he said as he ducked his head.

I looked at the young tom that stood before me. His eyes were lowered and he looked very apologetic, but I ignored that. I had heard what name Blue had called him, and gathered that this was the cat Plato had wanted 'to hurt badly.' He didn't look mean, though. In fact, he was a cutie. I decided to lighten up and get to know him a little better before judging him.

"So, what exactly did you do?" I asked with a tentative smile. "Oh, and I don't think we've been introduced properly."

The small tom's ears flicked in surprise. He looked up at me, his startling white face showing awe. His green eyes gazed into my own.

"I'm Mistoffelees. It's a pleasure to meet you, Wonder. I'm truly sorry for what happened," he said sincerely. "My magic is just out of control sometimes."

I looked at him, trying to figure something out. He was so very apologetic, but I knew he couldn't have been the sole cause of my fainting spell. I closed my eyes and suddenly it came to me, along with another headache.

"My brain was overwhelmed."

I rubbed my temples and opened my eyes. The three mysterious cats were looking at Blue, who was glaring at Mistoffelees.

"Blue, what's wrong with you?" I asked sternly.

Blue softened his gaze as he came over to me and take one of y paws in his own. He smiled down at me as I frowned up at him.

"Well?" I asked impatiently.

"You're quite a wonder, y'know. You just have your limits."

I sighed in exasperation and looked at Tantomile.

"What is he blathering about, Tanto?"

The dark calico female gave Blue an unidentifiable look and turned to me.

"You are a Magic Cat and you need to train to control your powers. Mistoffelees' own vast powers overwhelmed your own fledgling ones."

I calmly closed my eyes and muttered, "Okay, that's interesting. My head aches again."
